FAQ

What is Wegovy®?

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved prescription medication used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or excess weight. It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Wegovy® works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar, which can support reduced food intake and healthier eating patterns when combined with lifestyle changes.

FAQ

How effective is Wegovy® for weight loss?

Wegovy® has been clinically studied for weight management. In clinical trials, adults who used Wegovy® alongside diet and lifestyle changes lost an average of 14–15% of their body weight over one year.*

Individual results vary based on factors such as dosage, adherence, lifestyle habits, and overall health.

FAQ

What is the Wegovy® pill, and how is it different from the Wegovy® pen?

Both the Wegovy® pill and the Wegovy® pen contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide, and are FDA-approved for weight management. The main difference is how and how often they’re taken.

Similarities:

Both are FDA-approved Wegovy® formulations
Both use semaglutide as the active ingredient
Both follow a gradual dose-increase schedule determined by a provider
Side effects are generally similar and can be managed with provider support

Differences:

Wegovy® pen: Taken as a once-weekly injection
Wegovy® pill: Taken orally once per day

Your Shed provider will help determine which option may be appropriate based on your health history, preferences, and treatment goals.

FAQ

What’s the difference between Ozempic® and Wegovy®?

Both medications contain semaglutide, but they are FDA-approved for different uses.

Ozempic® is approved to treat type 2 diabetes
Wegovy® is specifically approved for chronic weight management

In some cases, providers may prescribe Ozempic® off-label for weight management when appropriate, but Wegovy® is the formulation designed and approved for weight loss.
